Cartier Declaration d'Un Soir - FAKE?

Hi, my 100ml bottle of Cartier Declaration d'Un Soir just arrived. I oredered "TESTER version". I know what is tester, I have one already.
First suspicious thing was the text at the back of the bottle, that says "Elegance and Sensuality" and "Fresh, Spicy, Woody Cocktail".The same in french.
There´s no such a picture of this frag on the e-parfumeries. Every picture shows bottle with print in the front of the bottle only.
What do you think?

Re: Cartier Declaration d'Un Soir - FAKE?

Looks fine in the picture. I believe that they sometimes print text on testers, ingredients, perhaps even descriptions like in this case. It would be rather silly to fake a bottle and to add extra text.

Re: Cartier Declaration d'Un Soir - FAKE?

I HIGHLY doubt it's fake. This fragrance just came out. If it were original Declaration, then maybe I'd believe it's a fake if it were suspect. How does it smell? How long does it last? I just bought a 100ml retail bottle with box for $51 on Amazon and it's legit. It projects huge and lasts all day. Smells amazing too. As mentioned above, Testers tend to have extra text describing the notes and fragrance printed on the back.

The description on amazon says "Déclaration d'Un Soir—a fresh, spicy, woody cocktail." So I don't think what your describing is a problem.

D'Un Soir freakin' rocks! It smells very classy and has a beautiful masculine rose note. It's very smooth and smells like it's made with quality ingredients. Perfect for a date or for dressy occasions. Also, it projects big and lasts a loooong time. Got mine on Amazon for half the retail price and it wasn't a tester.

I'm guessing you bought it from the amazon seller "Tuccini"? I've never purchased from them before but good to know if they are selling something that's a recent enough release for such a deep discount. I purchased mine about a month ago for $105 at Bloomingdales (it was a gift set with a shower gel though...so a small victory).

Oh man, now I am ready to pull the trigger on a blind buy. Appreciate the feedback guys, as I certainly value your opinions. Not sure if I will get half the retail price, but perhaps ~$60 isn't too bad of a deal either.

PerfumesWorld actually. Tuccini is legit though. I've bought from them. Even at $105, that is a good deal considering the magnitude of which D'Un Soir rocks. This could be the next big hype next spring. For now it's an undercover gem.

Take this with a grain of salt, but D'Un Soir is my favorite new fragrance from 2012 and one of my top new purchases. Anything under retail is a steal just like NYCBoomBoom said. I may buy a backup bottle while the price is so low.

Appreciate the info. I've seen a few reviews of d'Un Soir on youtube but no one was really pushing it. I was able to get a sample though and that was it, knew I had to have it. Declaration is there in the background, but the opening is new and 'inviting'. I was saving it for spring, but I might just start trying it out in the next few weeks.

Re: Cartier Declaration d'Un Soir - FAKE?

Thanks, mesaboogie for the heads up on Perfumesworld and Tuccini. I've been eyeing this amazing fragrance for a month now--had actually decided to pay full retail, but decided to visit the forum first. First thread in the forum as well! Pulled the trigger with Perfumesworld... - Edit - It turns out that it's Perfumeland Megastore (!!!)... anyone have experience with them?

I got a sample courtesy of spcmiller and I liked it right away. The first thing I noticed about it was how potent it was. My 100ml bottle will last me a looooooong time.

So, absolutely sure, right? No fake right?

If you get a fake bottle of D'Un Soir, I will drink my bottle of Illum Dean Fresco. The nice thing is, they labeled it as a tester on Amazon, but I got it in a sealed retail box!

Thought it didn't smell much like the original, to be honest, and found it rather sweet (a female friend who was with me at the time mocked it as being sweeter than her perfume. She didn't care for it). I remember it as being smooth and nice but it didn't wow me at the time. Also reminded me of something else but I couldn't figure out what. Will have to retry this at some point.
